Igor Fraga, Miguel Ballester and Nuno Pinto climbed to the top of the leader board and booked their place in the final McLaren Shadow race-off, resulting in the remaining finalists eliminated from the competition.
The drivers earned the most points across the week's human performance testing, on-track laps and in-game races.
Tomorrow the trio will battle once again at McLaren HQ for the ultimate prize. The overall winner will receive a seat in our esports team, and the opportunity to join our esports development programme, to hone their skills and work with our F1 team.
